Release: 29-11-2024
CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX has been a beacon for the broken and the unheard since its inception in 2004. With Justin Greaves at the helm, they’ve created albums that speak to the voiceless, the marginalized, and the disenchanted. With this double album release, “The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” + “Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2)”, CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX commemorates two decades of defiance and introspection.
“The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” revisits the echoes of their past, reworking and re-recording classics that have been sculpted by time and transformation. Joined by old friends and new allies, these reimagined anthems pulse with renewed vigor and raw emotion. From the extended odyssey of “Song For The Loved” to the resurrection of the lost-classic “Whissendine,” each track showcasing their exploration of the human condition and the perpetual struggle for justice and equality.
In “Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2),” CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX once again lays bare the soul of the music that carved their path, paying homage to the titans who stoked their spirit. With searing renditions like “Vengeance” by New Model Army, an anthem of resistance and rebellion, and the haunting, introspective take on Laura Branigan’s “Self Control,” CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX challenges us to see these classics through a new, unflinching lens.
Silver 12″ triple vinyl (33rpm) holding ‘The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature’ on Sides A, B, C + D and ‘Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2)’ on sides E + F in sturdy printed innersleeves in deluxe gatefold with the 4-page insert “An acknowlegdement of 20 years of CBP”, limited to 500 copies worldwide!
